I was involved in college football for a decade of my life. I saw firsthand the beginning of the Saban era and also saw firsthand how other programs did things.
Bama fans are gonna be shocked how well the team is coached next season. The quality of the assistant coaches for the past several years has been dogtrash relative to what Saban had when he started. A lot of the recent success was due solely to the process, incredible talent gap, and subpar coaching at other SEC programs.
Despite the transfers, which were inevitable, Bama will be talented next season. They will
have the roadbumps that all new coaches have(Saban had them too) but you are gonna see a damn good team this upcoming season. Some of yall need to sack up

Exactly what the melting crowd needs to hear.Posted on 1/19/24 at 8:49 am to scottydoesntknow
Most logical people know that everything of what you said is true. It’s just the rival trolls who are taking the opportunity to trash us anonymously.

Wrong. Had we hired a coach or a coordinator who had a recruiting relationship with these guys we would’ve kept 90% of them.

Talent beats well coached players 90% of the time.

Can you imagine how some of these pansy’s would handle a real crisis or real pressure in life. Some sure enough sissy’s on here. Weak

Yeah, I think Saban retired not because he couldn't recruit the players but because he couldn't recruit the coaches. The offense faltered in 2023 partly because he put more of his energy into repairing defense that floundered in 2022. He essentially said that in his Rece Davis interview after retirement. I believe his post-mortem for the 2023 season was his staff needed to improve or he needed to invest more of his effort into improving his existing staff. He just didn't believe he could do those things at his age while continuing to win on the field and in recruiting. He was struggling to land good assistants to alleviate deficiencies without his personal involvement, so he decided it was time to bounce.
This staff was as bad as it had been since the Shula era on offense. Defense was clearly in need of serious personal involvement from the head coach. I agree that Alabama likely upgraded everywhere at the assistant and coordinator level. The loss of Saban is massive. DeBoer has big shoes to fill as the CEO of the program.

The development and x's and o's part of Saban's coaching really fell off the last few years. We were almost always out schemed and we were constantly making mental errors. This is why Nick ultimately stepped down imho.
Look at our offense this year. It was a disaster. Thankfully talent overcame a lot. He hired Rees to run the offense and he was a failure.
I think we have straight up rockstars on the staff from a coaching standpoint. Getting players is the biggest unknown right now.
We're so used to having to have 5 stars at every position in order to win games that we believe that's the only way...it's how Nick won 6 Natties but in this new era that isn't possible to sustain those type of rosters.
I don't expect DeBoer to win 6 freaking natties of course but I believe we can still compete at the top year and year out. He just needs a win off the field. Getting Ryan Williams would be gigantic.
